So-called neutralism takes the lead because it will initially remain inactive, then seize the opportunity to join the advantaged side and strike hard. The power struggle within the Clock Tower has evolved over the years.
"Lord Barthemelo. No one will compete with you. Ultimately, the final choice of the throne lies with Britain."
The old woman, Inolai, winked subtly.
She held a cigarette between her fingers, an ashtray beside her. Judging by the aroma, it must be an herbal cigarette.
Aozaki Touko's smoking habit is inherited from her master.
"It's best if no one fights for it. In the past, kings were chosen from among the British. Now that the British mystical consciousness has waned, this is the Clock Tower's opportunity. I, Barthelmero, will take on the responsibility of revitalizing the Age of Gods."
What Lorelai said was very realistic.
None of the monarchs present had any doubts about Lorelei's abilities, otherwise they would not have given her the title of Clock Tower Queen.
The only Britons who could possibly compete with her for the throne are the isolated Blackmoya gravekeepers.
It is said that they have direct bloodlines from the first king.
It still bears the most ancient mysteries of Britain, and is responsible for guarding the foundation of Britain and protecting the cemetery.
The Brakmoya clan is isolated from the world, yet has authority over the palace and the clock tower.
Even if they act first and report later, no one will care.
Simply because their duty for thousands of years has been to protect the base, and nothing in Britain is more important than this.
The Clock Tower also regards this clan as a taboo.
The British base is the core area of the last age of gods, and countless magicians want to get a glimpse of what is inside.
However, most of them eventually turned into soil fertilizer.
Jobarmelo is the leader of the three great nobles.
The Brakmoya were undoubtedly the British royal family, and they possessed power left over from the unified dynasty.
It’s a pity that these royal families have remained steadfast in their duties to this day.
There is absolutely no intention of interfering in Britain's internal and foreign affairs.
Only when Britain is in serious trouble will this group of royal family members take the initiative to contribute their strength.
Other than that, it's all seclusion.
In Lorelai's eyes, the Brakmoya clan simply did nothing.
Although he has a bloodline that is more noble and glorious than anyone else, he has no intention of saving Britain and stubbornly stays in the cemetery.
As a royal aristocrat, he did not fulfill his duties.
In the eyes of Lorelei, who adhered to aristocratic principles, this was undoubtedly a despicable act of lack of ambition. It was a complete betrayal of the great glory created by the first king.
Maybe the British haven't noticed it yet.
However, the Clock Tower noticed it.
The British mystique is gradually declining.
Although the rate of decline is very slow for mortals, it cannot be ignored for magicians.
If the mystery shrinks and weakens.
The less likely the magician is to reach the source.
Chapter 265: Where will loyalty be dedicated? [Please subscribe! Please give flowers!]
The monarchs believed that if the status quo continued.
Lorelei will most likely be chosen as the King of Britain. According to various estimates, she is the most likely to be chosen.
Even Tramberio, who was in direct opposition to aristocracy, had to admit this unwillingness.
This girl seemed to be born to be a king.
The Barthemello family was established during the time when the Clock Tower was first built, no, it was during the time when the first king was still alive.
They are moving forward with the goal of inheriting the throne.
Now that Barthemero has a foundation of thousands of years, it would not be surprising if they were selected by Britain.
Overall, it will be a heavy blow to the democratic faction, but a good thing for the mystical world.
The magician of the Clock Tower becomes the king of Britain.
The blood pact once signed between the twelve monarchical families and Britain will, to a certain extent, lose most of its effectiveness.
The Blood Pact will make the Clock Tower submit to the King of Britain, and the Clock Tower has no right to refuse.
If Lorelei, the Clock Tower Queen, had ascended to become King of Britain, the Clock Tower would not be in this passive position.
Because Barthelmero is the ruler of the Clock Tower.
He is the leader who controls magicians.
This is a good thing for all the magicians in the Clock Tower.
Lorelei's claim to the throne would allow them to concentrate their forces to fight against the church, changing the previous situation of confrontation.
A clock tower supported by the entire Age of Gods.
It will definitely give us a great advantage in the confrontation with the church.
Rather than having an outsider chosen as the King of Britain, the Clock Tower would rather have one of its own be chosen as king.
This is the best way for the magician to maximize his profits.
Having said that, the democrats haven't completely given up.
They believed that they could not defeat Bartomero, but they still had the desire to become king in their hearts.
There have been examples before, like when the British Isles chose an ordinary commoner as their new king, much to the consternation of a group of magicians.
In the end, the new king's achievements could not match those of the previous king, but he still did not make any mistakes.
The British Isles were never missed.
Its top priority is the eternal continuation of the Age of Gods.
Now, not only the people of the Clock Tower, but the people of the entire British Isles are waiting for the new king to ascend the throne.
A day passed without hearing that a new king had taken the throne.
Then the British will feel uneasy.
The anxiety made the monarchs present wish they could jump forward five days to witness who would be chosen.
The chosen one will gain the power of the Age of Gods.
"Nowhere has been peaceful lately. Even the princess from the Millennium City has made an appearance. I remember, Lord El-Melloi, that you're also preparing to participate in the Holy Grail War in Snowfield City, right?
Now, we in Britain have also ushered in the day of the royal election. It feels like the world is really becoming more and more lively——hahahaha!”
McNedal smiled broadly.
It was as if he had forgotten Bartomero's domineering remarks just now.
"The True Ancestor Princess of Millennium City, is she trying to compete with me for prey again? Those ancestors are nothing but filth that I will have to clean up sooner or later. Only the principles of Britain exist in this world."
Lorelai's eyes showed disgust.
Thousands of years ago, magicians concluded that the continuation of the British Age of Gods was due to the grand ritual foundation formed by the first king using the Principle Blood Ring and Age of Gods magic.
Even magic is involved in its field.
The Barthelmero family has hated Dead Apostles since ancient times.
There was once a discussion among magicians and Dead Apostles about whether the King of Britain should also be listed as one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors.
After all, the King of Britain will definitely control the Principle Blood Ring.
In the end, this issue was completely eliminated.
Barthelmero would not allow anyone to compare this great cause that continued the Age of Gods with that filthy and despicable vampire.
In Lorelai's opinion, it was the First King who conquered and controlled the Principle Blood Ring, squeezing out the vampire insects' worth to ensure the survival of the British God Age.
"Alas, Lord Barthemero, you still hate vampires as much as ever. However, once you ascend the throne, you will be able to take full action against the Church and the vampires."
"You don't need to tell me, Lord El-Melloi. Once I ascend the throne, I will naturally lead the Age of Gods onto the right path. Both the Church and those vampires are our enemies."
Bartomero can't wait.
Although Britain's Principle Blood Ring has been operating for thousands of years, it does not mean that it can be integrated with other ancestors.
The principles of the other ancestors will only affect present-day Britain.
This is an alien factor they don't need.
As an organization that has always regarded mysticism as heresy, there is naturally nothing much to say about the church as an enemy.
After that, the meeting continued for a while.
Ever since the True Ancestors and the Dead Apostles had been wreaking havoc on the surface, the monarchs had been discussing the redevelopment of the Albion Spirit Cave.
Afterwards, the meeting ended——
"The day of the king's election...?"
Kenneth muttered as he walked down the hallway.
Lorelai's majestic appearance was so impressive.
The elitist style of the Barthemero family is so strong that they almost look down on everyone outside their own family.
If Kenneth's family wasn't Archibald.
I have been in contact with Bartomero for many years.
Otherwise, Lorelai would not even look at Kenneth straight in the eye, as she was indeed a strong and aloof queen.
Kenneth considers himself to be extremely talented.
He also has a lot of self-esteem.
But compared to an almighty queen like Lorelai, the gap between the two is not even a little bit.
"Well, the British throne is not what I want. If Barthelmero takes the throne, it will be a good thing for my aristocratic faction, and that is enough."
Kenneth chuckled and didn't think about it anymore.
They are the people closest to the British throne.
Although he thought he didn't have the ability to compete with Lorelai for the throne, who really didn't want to ascend the throne?
Soon, five days didn’t seem like a long time.
Magicians and Britons alike were almost eagerly awaiting this day, waiting for the clock tower to announce the king's name.
A new era lasting a century is about to begin.
Will the people of Britain be chosen as king? Or will the magicians of the Clock Tower be chosen as king? Or will the fairies or monsters be chosen as king?
Who will lead them?
To whom will they offer this loyalty?
All of this will be revealed today.
Chapter 266: Convening, Crown Resolution [Please subscribe! Please give flowers!]
Consciousness awakened in a hazy state.
I dreamed of the familiar past again.
He first met her in the castle, traveled around Britain with her, and together they dreamed of saving Britain.
I don't know how I ended up having this dream.
It may be because I have returned to Britain, or it may be that I am simply reminded of the past.
"Teacher, teacher—it's already morning. Today is the day of the royal election... You said you were going to the clock tower."
I heard a call coming from my ear.
